The specks are moderately dense, gathered in loose, uneven clusters that sit softly against the smoky grey of the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose specks are inclusions, tiny dark crystals, often graphite, and clouds of minute particles trapped as the diamond formed deep in the earth. A few larger dark crystals stand apart from the rest, and the grey body carries a subtle warmth. Like most salt and pepper diamonds, some of its inclusions reach the surface, so a setting that covers its point keeps it safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet table up, the shield shape opens a window into the speckled pattern, with its clusters in clear view. Set upside down, the faceted base faces up and the light breaks across its angled facets. The photographs show it both ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease be aware that photography and video cannot fully capture this stone. Our lightbox images are taken under artificial light, which can flatten a diamond's brilliance and hide the fire that shows in the hand. Video taken in natural light does the opposite, often reading cooler and darker than the stone appears in the hand. The truest impression sits between the two, so we recommend viewing both.
